I've been inline skating ten years now, and the last three years been doing long outdoor skates, 43km a couple of weeks ago.

It is the ideal move of transport! (if cars were less common and hills less steep).

I've got weak ankles from rolling them regularly playing other sports, but the inline boots strap em in nice and tight.

If you need some motivation, or just like to watch some decent skating, check out The Stuttering Skater on YouTube. I'm nowhere near even thinking about being that good, but he's great to watch weaving through NYC traffic.
